DNA: Do Not AI

Declare your human preference against AI slop on the web via RFC 7240.

[Detailed Description] Take back the human web with DNA (Do Not AI) — the official client-side extension for the Organic Web Protocol. As generative AI summaries, hallucinated scrapers, and synthetic SEO farms flood modern search results and publishing feeds, human creativity and genuine knowledge are buried under an avalanche of low-effort AI slop. DNA empowers you to formally declare your preference for authentic human-crafted content across every webpage you visit, without running heavy DOM scripts, without tracking your browsing habits, and without draining your device's battery. ================================================================================ 🌟 How DNA Works: The RFC 7240 Standard Pair ================================================================================ DNA follows the historic philosophical lineage of privacy standards like Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC), operating natively at the HTTP network layer: 1. 📡 Automatic Preference Broadcast On every document navigation, DNA attaches the standard RFC 7240 client preference header: Prefer: no-ai X-Content-Preference: no-ai This informs publishers, search engines, and web applications that you prefer original, human-authored text, unadulterated research, and human curation over automated AI summaries. 2. 🟢 Two-Way Verification Loop (Organic Web Verified) When a participating publisher, publication, blog, or API respects user choice and delivers human-certified content, it returns the standard confirmation header: Preference-Applied: no-ai DNA detects this header in milliseconds and instantly lights up the emerald green toolbar badge ("✓ Verified"), certifying that the site is an authentic member of the Organic Web ecosystem. 3. ⚪ Toolbar Status at a Glance • 🟢 Emerald Green ("✓"): Organic Web Certified. The website actively responded to your signal and confirmed human-curated content. • ⚪ Subtle Grey: Preference Declared. The signal was broadcasted; waiting for the website to implement the DNA protocol. • 🔴 Red Dot: Paused. DNA header injection is temporarily paused. ================================================================================ 🚀 Core Architectural Advantages ================================================================================ ⚡ Zero-Overhead Declarative Net Request Unlike bulky adblockers or fragile content filters that parse DOM nodes and inject hundreds of kilobytes of client scripts, DNA leverages Chrome's native Declarative Net Request (DNR) engine. It consumes zero extra CPU cycles, zero background memory, and causes zero page rendering delays. 🔒 Zero-Knowledge Privacy Guarantee DNA is built with privacy as an absolute first principle: • No History Collection: DNA never reads, records, or stores your browsing history. • No Analytics or Telemetry: Zero third-party tracker scripts, zero telemetry beacons, and zero pingback servers. • Minimal Permissions: Requests only the standard activeTab and network declaration permissions necessary to communicate headers. • 100% Local & Offline: All counters and verified site domains are kept strictly in your local browser storage. 🌐 Open Source & Community-Driven (MIT License) DNA is not a closed proprietary tool. The full source code, protocol specification, and test suites are open source on GitHub under the MIT License. Anyone can inspect, verify, and contribute. ================================================================================ 🛠️ For Webmasters & Content Creators ================================================================================ Are you a writer, independent blogger, developer, or publisher who values human craftsmanship? Join the Organic Web and turn on the green verification shield for all DNA users in under two minutes! Simply add the standard RFC 7240 confirmation header to your server: • Nginx: add_header Preference-Applied "no-ai" always; add_header Vary "Prefer" always; • Cloudflare Workers / Edge Middleware: response.headers.set("Preference-Applied", "no-ai"); response.headers.set("Vary", "Prefer"); • Node.js / Express: res.setHeader("Preference-Applied", "no-ai"); res.setHeader("Vary", "Prefer"); • Apache (.htaccess): Header always set Preference-Applied "no-ai" Header always append Vary "Prefer" ================================================================================ ✊ Join the Movement ================================================================================ The web was created by humans, for humans. Install DNA: Do Not AI today and make your voice heard across the digital landscape.
